Monthly Meeting – September 24

Post by Michael M »

Our monthly meeting, held on the fourth Wednesday of the month, is Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 7:00 p.m.

As the weather will soon begin cooling off and we look towards doing more outdoor activities, including ham radio, we will be turning our attention to portable operations. That also includes next month’s annual start of Saturday in the Park, which we will be kicking off with a BBQ. Look for more information coming soon on that. That brings us to this week’s presentation.

This week’s presentation will be on the Delta Loop, what it is, how it works, and how to build and deploy it. The subject matter will focus its application in portable operations. Randy, who is an accomplished orator and educator, will also show us how he uses it in portable operations, including last month’s annual International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend (ILLW). If portable operations interest you – whether it’s POTA, contesting, or just getting outdoors and operating – and you’re looking for an antenna project, this presentation is especially for you! And of course, expect the usual fare of fun, friendship, and camaraderie.

As always, we welcome everyone to our meetings and activities, members and non-members, whether licensed or not! If you’re a new ham or thinking about getting your license, come on out and meet us! We can help you in all aspects of getting your license and getting started in amateur radio.

Location:
STEM Center
Cox Science Center and Aquarium
4801 Dreher Trail North, West Palm Beach, FL 33405

For the remainder of the year we will be holding our meetings at the STEM Center. That building is on the North East corner of the general parking area. If you’re standing at the Cox Science Center looking out into the parking lot, it is straight ahead to your right. The stem center now has its own parking right in front of the building.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the meeting this Wednesday. The talk about a delta loop antenna is a topic I would like to learn more about as I been considering the possibility of purchasing the Chameleon Delta Loop at Hamcation . If possible please post this presentation. TY
